Demographics Why are some countries more developed than others?

Your Theory n Write a theory that gives at least one reason why some countries are more developed than others.

Demographics Demo= people n n Graph= to write Demographics are numbers (statistics) that tell us about the level of development. Geographers look at how demographic information like population growth, population density, birth rate, life expectancy, literacy rate, per capita GDP to understand the overall health, wealth and development of a country

Section Outline chapter 3 section 1 of your Prentice Hall World Geography text book. Use an idea map/web format with the word “population” in the center. 1. Draw three spokes out from the word population and write the main ideas from (bold red headings) at the end of each line. 2. Create more branches off the main spokes by using the green subheadings. 3. fill in details around the branches with details from the body of the text. Keep in mind that nouns that answer the question what, where, when, who are usually important details that can be connected to the subheadings

World Population Cartogram A cartogram distorts land to match some demographic variable. In this case the size of the country is in proportion to it’s population

Distribution of World Population Over one half of the world’s population lives in Asia

Population Growth by Region Africa doesn’t have the most people but it is the fastest growing continent. At present growth rates of By 2050 the countries of Africa will have a combined population of over 2 billion. In 1950 there were two Europeans for every African. In 2050 there will be two African’s for every European.

Student Practice Color the countries with the biggest populations on your map

Arithmetic Density Divide the number of people in a place by the size of the place n Example: United States Population (300 million) divided by it’s land size (3, 717, 796 square miles) Answer: 80. 69 people per square mile in the United States

Student Practice n What is the arithmetic density of the classroom? n What is the physiological density of the classroom? n Color the ten most densely populated countries the same color on your map. n Which countries are the biggest and the most densely populated?

How Accurate is Arithmetic Density? Is population distributed evenly? What might cause populations to cluster closer together or spread further apart? access to water arable soil landforms

What kinds of climate do most people live in? Population Density World Climates

Physiological Density Physiological density is the number of people per arable land area. This is a good measure of the relation between population and agricultural resources in a society.

What makes populations grow? Populations grow when births are high and deaths are low.

What causes the changes in each stage? Demographic Transition Model Stage 1: 2: 3: 4: Hunting and Gathering, nomadic herding Farming Manufacturing (developing) Services (developed)

Demographic Comparisons Assignment Objective: Determine which countries are developed, developing and less developed. Instructions: 1 -Choose one country from the list of countries on the data chart. 2 -Compare it’s birthrate, infant mortality, life expectancy, literacy and per capita GDP with the examples on the sheet titled “Demographic Comparisons. ” 3. Write that country under the example that it matches most closely in at least three categories.
